Biography
Dennis Prager was born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York in 1948 to an Orthodox Jewish family. In 1969, while he was studying in England, he was recruited by a Jewish group to travel to the Soviet Union and interview Jews about their life there. He became an activist for Soviet Jews in several countries, and the start of his career coincided with a rightward shift of many formerly liberal Jews in the United States, driven in part by the influx of Soviet Jews. Prager supported Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election, and he became a talk show host and writer during the late 1970s and the 1980s. While he was a social conservative who believed that being gay was a choice, he supported a woman's right to choose and justified consensual sex between non-married men and women. Although Jewish, his views often aligned with the Christian right, attacking an Anti-Defamation League report which pointed out instances of anti-Semitism in the Christian right. He founded PragerU, a non-profit organization which sought to give college students a conservative perspective on politics, economics, and philosophy.
